Law school 101 - sue everybody who might possibly be responsible!  It seems to me that the aunt and her daughter are both responsible.  The aunt breached her contract with you to hold on to the money and only disburse it when and if the daughter's car deal went through.  The daughter breached her agreement with you by not repaying the loan and by using the money for something other than a car.
